Congratulations to GeoJewett, Buckandi, and PDubATX!
Welcome to PROGNOSIS NEGATIVE!, an interactive Wherigo cache in a popular North Austin Park. The cache is not at the posted coordinates. Instead, that is where your journey begins.
Follow the clues and a host of characters to save the day. Prognosis Negative will leave you as dizzy as your virtual counterpart, and have you wondering where the line between real life and the virtual game is drawn. Good luck.
Thank you to SoaringEagle for his inspiration to try again at building a Wherigo. The new third-party tools and his hints really helped.
Please Note: This cache requires a Wherigo-enabled GPS. I highly recommend using a WELL CHARGED iPhone with the 'Wherigo' app. I've played through a Garmin Oregon 300 but it is sluggish and a little clunky, and I've heard one report of a 550 crashing. I have not tested all other platforms. Please send me feedback about any difficulty or bugs you encounter. This is my first attempt at Wherigo programming and I'm sure not everything is perfect.
Here is a map of the park if you are not familiar with it. Park hours are 5am to 10pm, though this is not a good night-cache candidate. Come early, and then stay late for the other nearby night caches. Please remember to be safe.
